IMPROVEMENT lN CIGAR-MAKERS TABLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,149, dated J nnc 3, 1879; application filed i March 17, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES BUCKSBAUM, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Makers Tables; and I hereby declare the following to be a clear and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to construct a table for cigar-makers in such a manner that the dust arising from the tobacco is prevented from mixing with the cigars while being made, as it does now in the'commonly-used'table; also, that the refuse-box may be easily cleaned out, and, essentially, that the table may be conveniently packed together for shipment.

My invention consists in hinging to the inside of a table used for manufacturing cigars a lid or frame, over which is stretched a wire gauze or netting supported by wires, also stretched across the frame. In front of this lid, and inside of the refusebox, is a similar, but smaller, wire-gauze frame. Under the table are two drawers-one for dust and the other for loose tobacco and one fitting into the other. The legs can be taken ofl' very readily.

In order to more fully describe my invention, I refer to the drawings, of which Figure 1 is a front view of my improved table, and Fig. II is a sectional view of the same.

A is the table, consistin of the box-shaped part a, which is supported on legs I) b. O is the lid, hinged to the table at c c adjustably, so that the line of hinges may be raised or lowered, according to convenience, to meet which the forward end of the lid rests upon a supporting partition piece, (I, in the table, which is in sections, hinged to each other, permitting the laying back of the upper section.

The lid 0 is provided with wires a, stretched symmetrically over the frame, and over this is laid and secured wire-gauze e, or its equivalent. On the top of the lid ,in the center toward the manufacturer, is fastened a plate, 0, upon which the cigars are rolled.

The object of the wire gauze or netting is to allow the dust arising from the manipulation of the tobacco to fall through the same into the dust-compartment D underneath the lid, where it is brushed into the drawer H through the openings h.

I is a refuse box br compartment, into which is placed a frame, J, covered with wire gauze or netting 0 The object of this frame is to collect the coarser part of the refuse and to collect the finer part or dust in the bottom of the box, whence it is brushed into the drawer H through the hole h.

K is another drawer for loose tobacco. L is a stand or shelf on the top and back of the table, for the convenience of the manufacturer.

Having now described my invention, I desire to claim- 1. The wire-gauze lid 0, with plate 0', adjnstably hinged, in combination with the table A, compartment D, drawer H, and partitionpiece (1, substantially as and for the purpose.

set forth.

2. The wire-ganze frame J, in combination with the compartment I of the table A, with drawer H, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

The specification signed this 17th day of February, 1879.
